Had a number of debates (Read Arguments) of late regarding what is considered reasonable and what isn't. It's all unreasonable as far as I'm concerned if you can't pass costs onto a client.

It would be great a few of you could copy and paste info for comparison.

Travel Time Paid @ =
Overtime Rate Saturday =
Overtime Rate Sunday =
Overtime Rate Midnight till 8:00
Our of town allowance =
Meal allowance for 12 hour day =


To set the ball rolling here is hours which I personally consider more than reasonable but even this is getting the envelope pushed.

Travel Time Paid @ = Time and half outside 8:00 while 17:00 normal working day
Overtime Rate Saturday = Time and Half
Overtime Rate Sunday = Double regardless if worked Saturday or not
Overtime Rate Midnight till 8:00 = Double
Our of town allowance = Room paid plus £40
Meal allowance for 12 hour day = £15
